KEITH MALLORY, A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER FROM NEW ZEALAND, MUST INFILTRATE THE AEGEAN ISLAND OF NAVARONE, AND DESTROY THE GUNS ON THE GERMAN FORTRESS THERE, IN ORDER TO SAVE THE LIVES OF 1,200 BRITISH SOLDIERS. HE GETS A TEAM TOGETHER, BOARDS A SMALL CRAFT, AND HEADS TO NAVARONE. ON THE WAY THERE, HIS SMALL SHIP IS NEARLY DESTROYED IN A STORM, AND HE THEN MUST CLIMB A 400 FOOT SHEER CLIFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM. IN THE PROCESS, THEY LOSE ALL THEIR FOOD, AND ONE OF THEIR TEAM MEMBERS BREAKS HIS LEG. THE NEXT SECTION OF THE BOOK DESCRIBES THEIR WORKING THEIR WAY OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND OF NAVARONE, WHILE DODGING GERMAN PATROLS, AND NURSING THEIR WOUNDED COMRADE. THEY MEET UP WITH THE RESISTANCE MOVEMMENT ON NAVARONE, BUT THE GERMANS KEEP ON THEIR TRAIL. THEY SOON FIND OUT THAT ONE OF THE RESISTANCE MEN WAS GIVING THEM AWAY AND HAVE NEARLY HALF THEIR TEAM CAPTURED. THEY BREAK THEM OUT AND BLOW UP THE GUNS, AND THEN ARE ABLE TO ESCAPE ONTO A WAITING BRITISH SUBMARINE दुसऱ्या महायुद्धात 'खेरोस' या छोट्या बेटावर १२०० ब्रिटिश सैनिक अडकून पडले होते. हे बेट तुर्कस्तानच्या जवळ होते. त्यांना सोडवायला जाणाऱ्या बोटींना नॅव्हारन बेटावरील महाकाय तोफांचा अडथळा होता. त्या तोफा त्यांच्या समोरच्या समुद्रातील कोणतेही जहाज सहज बुडवू शकत होत्या. नॅव्हारनवर एक भक्कम किल्ला होता. तिथे जर्मन व इटालियन सैन्य होते. अशा या तोफा नष्ट करायला मूठभर माणसांची तुकडी बेटाच्या मागच्या कड्यावरून चढून वर पोचली. खेरोस बेटावरील सैनिकांना सोडविण्यास येणारे ब्रिटिश आरमार, तोफांचे त्यावर धरले जाणारे नेम आणि त्या नष्ट करण्यासाठी पुढे सरकलेली ती मूठभर घातपात्यांची तुकडी यांच्यात शर्यत लागली. शेवटी कोण जिंकले ?
